LEE COUNTY HOSPITAL
(Continued Prom Page One.)
I A charity patient ia one. who" u
admitted to the hospital because hi
ia sick and is unable to pay his bills.
He receives the same treatment, th<
samer nurses care for him, and he re
ceives the same food and supplies as
does a patient who pays.
•Fifty-eight per cent of the patients
treated in the hospital in 1933 were
charity patients. If patients are not
admitted to a room and put to bed
they are treated and classified as out
patients. I# they are able to pay an
emergency room charge is made but
if they can't pay they aria charity
patients. A record is kept of all out
patients and 747 cases were treated
in 1933. The hospital receives no com
pensation for these out patients not
even X-ray, which makes it expensive
for the county. The total number of
laboratory examinations for in pa
tients last year was 3169 and the to
tal for out patients was 161,, This in
cluded blood tests, etc. There were
425 pperationa.
Of the white .patients admitted to
the hospital 195 paid their accounts
m full; 133 paid in part, while 96
were charity patients. Of 'colored pa
tients admitted 10 paid in full; 33 (n
part and 70 were charity patients; a
total of 544 patients in 1933.
Every hospital has to do a great
deal of charity work and the Lis'
County Hospital is no exception to
the rule. To help promote the health
every citizen owes his community,
of the people is an obligation which
The service clubs of Sanford and
church organizations of Lee County
lean do much to better .equip this hos
pital and make it an instrument for
the conservation and promotion of the
health of the people if they will but
give the matter a little thought. In
many counties the people do much
for the benefit of their hospitals and
with a little cooperation the people
of Lee County could do a great deal
for this hospital without missing
j their donations. There are various
ways in which people can help. This
hospital belongs to the people of Lee
, County as the court house and th<
public schools belongs to them and the
only way it can render them, the ser
[ vice that it should render is for then
to give it both their moral and finan
! try could donate eggs, chickens, po
. cial support. The people in the coun
tatoes and garden vegetables during
( the year. They often bring their pro
. duce to the towns and cannot sell it
’ If they would take this surplus to th<
hospital to help the charity patient:
vt would be thankfully received.
( The Hospital Auxiliary, a ladies 01
ganiration which works directly fo:
| the hospital'has rendered it very vmh
% able service m the past. The wome
, planted shrubbery around the hospi
tal, and bought an electric floor ms
1 chine to scrub, polish and wax floors
’ They canned vegetables daring fb
1 -summer., and made many other dona
fe-,tions. The people of the county an
’ beginning to realize that they mus
support the hospital. More donation!
u have been made to it since January
; 11st, 1934, than were made during the
1 whole of last year. •
The board of directors and those
1 who . have the management of the hos
1 pital in their hands greatly appre
ciate what the people of the county
are doing for the institution. Nothing
1 gives them more pleasure than tc
1 see people who were patients at the
1 hospital return home well or greatly
improved in health. Let all the peo
‘ pie of the couifty help them in every
1 way they can in this great work thal
1 they are doing.
